    First time here for our party (three of us) and we very much enjoyed the entire experience. For starters we had the crispy squid (I found these addicting), diver scallops, shoshito peppers, and the hamachi collar which was one of the specials. All items were great (if the hamachi collar is available I strongly recommend it) and very shareable. While the scallop dish comes with two we added a third, but the other dishes comfortably serviced three as they are normally prepared and arguably could satisfy four diners. For mains I went with the 5-kind sashimi chef special and added toro sashimi and all of it was excellent (the toro, as hoped for, melted in my mouth). My son had the lamb cutlets and hamachi serrano chili roll which I tried and was very good. He has a mild case of celiac which was not an issue as our server seamlessly accommodated with tamari and highlighted dishes that have gluten in them. The lamb does have gluten in it, but my son ordered them anyway, again mild case. His girlfriend ordered the dynamite scallop roll which I also tried and was also very good. If I had one critique on the food it was the matcha cheese cake. To be clear it and the accompanying mango and passion fruit sorbet was good, it just wasn’t very matcha forward. That said, anyone ordering it I think would find it to be a good desert. We all had cocktails and agreed all were good and would order them again. I had the Roka fashion and Boulevardier I Do, my son’s girlfriend had a few of the blood orange margaritas, he had a couple different ones I don’t recall. The service was excellent. Our table was cleared a few times at appropriate moments and our server checked on us routinely. It’s a strong sign service is at a high level when your party has ordered quite a bit, but never felt like they were waiting at any point during the meal. Will definitely go back.

    First time and all as amazing. Fresh and creative sushi rolls followed by steak to share. Truffle butter for steak was perfect! Paired with mushroom rice pot, with a little more truffle. Great spot! We will return.
